From a dark and brooding morning, to an evening sunset which set the ice aglow.
Casey showed me her extremes on the day that marked the end of my first month on Station.
An emphatic reminder that whilst living inside our insulated Antarctic buildings, you need to keep one eye on the great outdoors, even if just from the front door step, so as to not miss the spectacle that nature unfolds for us every day down here.

This cloud over the Clark Peninsula was like a living beast, visibly rotating, rolling along towards the north and intensifying in colour as it went. I had just walked out of the red shed to walk to work at the operations building to work, and captured this on my phone.

In a scenario which was the reverse of my experience in the morning, I walked out of the door of the operations building to walk home to the Red Shed, straight into this. I had not seen this sunset unfold from my office window which faces north, until I walked outside. So very glad I chose this moment to head home for the day!
